FMC Corporation (NYSE:FMC) today reported record quarterly revenues of $1.1 billion in the fourth quarter, a 24 percent increase over the same period in 2012.

The company reported net income of $27.1 million, or $0.20 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of 2013, versus net income of $102.2 million, or $0.74 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of 2012. Fourth quarter results include charges primarily related to the sale of the Peroxygens business of $114.3 million after tax, or $0.85 per diluted share, compared to charges of $4.4 million after tax, or $0.03 per diluted share, in the prior-year quarter. Excluding these items in both periods, adjusted earnings were $1.05 per diluted share, an increase of 36 percent versus the prior-year quarter.

For the full year, revenues grew to $3.9 billion, up 14 percent over 2012. Adjusted full-year earnings per diluted share increased 15 percent to $3.88 versus $3.39 in 2012.

Key performance drivers were continued market penetration in Brazilian soybean applications, new product introductions and strong demand due to increased cotton acreage. In addition, early season demand in North America drove increased sales volumes for pre-emergent herbicides and insecticides. Segment operating margin was lower compared to the prior-year quarter primarily due to changes in product mix.

For the full year, segment sales of $2.1 billion and operating earnings of $539 million represent year-over-year growth of 22 percent and 19 percent, respectively. FMC Agricultural Solutions continues to grow at a pace faster than the market, while delivering operating margins of 25 percent.

The company expects the above-market rate growth to continue into 2014, driven by new and recently introduced products. FMC anticipates volume growth globally as increased focus on key crops will be complemented by acreage expansion in Latin America.

Additionally, increasing demand for resistance management products in North America and continued focus on delivering innovative solutions globally will drive volume gains. The company anticipates full-year segment earnings momentum to continue in 2014 with earnings up mid-teens percent.
